One thing worth thinking about is getting a pair of monitors
that have ports on the front vs the rear of the speakers - they
will be alot less sensitive to placement to get good bass
response, whereas rear ported monitors need to be more carefully
placed.
the small NHT M-00's are nice as well, but they are more then
$250..

Yeah when I hooked up A2's I kept feeling air blowing on me and got up to turn the ceiling fan off...LOL...It was air being blown out of the ports.
